Bush Cult goons prepare to disrupt Nov. 2 election
They may live in their cult leader Bush's fantasy reality, but in their gut his Kool-Aid disciples know that if the 2004 presidential election is on the up and up, George W. Bush will be evicted from the White House. So they cannot chance that the easily fixed computerized voting equipment—optically scanned ballots or paperless touchscreens—are or will be rigged for Bush.
Nor can they chance that their stealth tactics of intimidation and lies, destroying Democrats' registration forms, and a variety of efforts to disenfranchise voters will be enough to keep their demagogue in power. So the last trick up their sleeves before the vote is tallied, short of guns and bombs, is to disrupt the process by challenging voters at the polls, thus delaying the casting of votes, frightening some voters away and causing others to leave in disgust without voting.
To this end, the Bush Cult is recruiting thousands of its followers to do just that in what are perceived to be the swing states. And they don't give a damn that the whole world is watching; because in their twisted reality only might makes right and the rest of us in the “reality-based community” just don't get it.
As “an unnamed senior Bush advisor” told The New York Times reporter Ron Suskind,” ''We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.''
The question is if the Bush Cult again steals the election, will the “reality-based community” on Nov. 3 be studying what they did or will it be out in the streets waging another American revolution? How much more shame will we allow them to heap on our country and us?
